ParticipantWow. That’s quite a bit more than what I would have thought. Makes sense though.
The collapse has been precipitous, steepness of the decline has really surprised me.
Scary part is it doesn’t feel like bottom yet.

Participantluch, I’m not an urban liberal, I run a business and I wince when I look at the amount of tax we pay each payroll cycle, every quarter, etc.
That said, I find Obama’s fiscal proposals to be far more sound and business conservative than McCain and the GOP. Healthcare is an example where sound public policy can translate into improvements on the bottom line in the private sector. Energy policy is another area, and Obama’s energy proposals are far superior to the GOP.
In a similar vein, Obama’s tax policy proposals strike me as better for business than McCain/GOP. Crackdown on tax avoidance. Fortune 500 companies are posting record profits and shirking taxes offshore. Average business don’t have legions of consultants, lawyers and accountants devising tax avoidance strategies.
GOP talking points have been deceptive on the facts, more so in this election than any other I can remember. Ex-GOP here, so I don’t drink leftie kool-aid. I’m calling it like I see it. Obama and the Dems are a better choice for my business. Open to substantive comments you might have, specific issues.

ParticipantJohn, two quick comments regarding taxation:
1. Relative tax contributions as mapped against the accumulation of wealth (which only loosely equates to what we term ‘income’ in the tax sense), have become far more regressive over the past 30-40 years.
2. There is a fundamental problems with our tax system and it involves the definition of income. In a traditional economic sense, income is what an entity ‘makes’ each year, the difference in wealth year over year. We should stop playing games with what we classify as income, decrease loopholes, tax shelters, and crackdown on tax avoidance.
A fairer and less regressive tax system would be an economic stimulus to the country. Large corporations have become extremely sophisticated in the use of tax avoidance strategies. It is patriotic for these companies to pay taxes. No more ‘shirkers’. Poor people are not the issue.
